Heavy snow in the mountains of Gangwon...Emergencies for damage to facilities due to humid snow

The same goes for the city center, but the mountainous areas are also buried in the snow.

Damage such as vehicle isolation or facility collapse is feared at first sight.

Yes, it's in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province.

Is it snowing a lot there, too?

It rained quite a lot yesterday afternoon in Gangwon-do.

Since night, the rain has turned into heavy snow.

This is Hongcheon Seomyeon area.

The snow, which had fallen so thick at dawn, has been in a lull since an hour ago.

Let's take a look around.

Snow flowers bloomed white in both east, west, north, and south.

This is the sesame field where the harvest is over. My feet fall out very deeply, but my eyes are so heavy that they get clumped together quickly.

This is a custom.

If you look around, there is a pine tree.

Since the snow is so heavy, the snow keeps shaking off every branch like this.

If it's light, it'll fly quickly, but since it's heavy, snow continues to accumulate to the point where the leaves droop.

There is a lot of snow around.

And there are a lot of fields.

Ginseng is the representative of Hongcheon, Gangwon-do. It's a ginseng field.

It is a shading facility in the ginseng field, and the shading facility is also piled up with snow like this.

It's okay because the snow stops now, but when it accumulates more snow, farmers have to come and clean it up one by one.

Otherwise, it will collapse, so there is a difficulty that must be cleaned up.

Snow warnings are in place here in Hongcheon and Pyeongchang, and heavy snow warnings are in place for the rest of Gangwon Province.

It snowed close to 10 to 20 cm in Seoseok in Hongcheon, Daehwa in Pyeongchang, and Misiryeong.

In particular, mountains and highlands are buried in the snow white.

It was dry ahead of winter in some areas, and it helped with seaweeds.

But now I'm worried about the snow bomb.

Many places in the mountains of Gangwon-do have snow forecasts of more than 30cm in the future.

Moreover, the snow this time is very heavy.

It's a 'wet snow' that contains a lot of water vapor.

In rural and mountainous areas, damage to facilities such as greenhouses is also a concern.

It snows on the way to work and the road conditions are very bad.

When we came this way, the highway was not properly snow-removed.

The biggest concern is driver isolation.

People who come to Gangwon Province, where there are many uphill and downhill, should pack safety equipment such as car chains and shovels.

The road authorities and each local government in charge of snow removal are also on alert from dawn.

More than 600 snow removal vehicles will be deployed to spray more than 2,400 tons of snow removal agent.

In the case of Gangwon-do, please refrain from driving the vehicle as much as possible and if you are forced to drive, make sure to drive slowly.

This is YTN Jihwan in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, where a heavy snow warning has been issued so far.
